1Y0-312 Migration and Cloud Integration Practice Question
An administrator is migrating an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site to Citrix DaaS. The on-premises site uses a Citrix ADC for load balancing of StoreFront servers. The administrator wants to replace the on-premises StoreFront with Citrix Workspace and ensure high availability. Which two actions should the administrator take to ensure that users can access resources after migration? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that on-premises Citrix ADC or StoreFront components are still needed for load balancing or access when migrating to Citrix Workspace, when in fact Cloud Connectors and Citrix Gateway service fulfill those roles.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Install Cloud Connectors in the resource location.
To ensure user access after migrating to Citrix DaaS with Citrix Workspace, the administrator must install Cloud Connectors in the resource location to enable communication between Citrix Cloud and on-premises resources. Additionally, configuring Citrix Workspace to use Citrix Gateway service provides secure external access. These two actions replace the on-premises StoreFront and Citrix ADC, ensuring high availability and continuous access for users.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Install Cloud Connectors in the resource location.
Why this is correct
Cloud Connectors are required to connect Citrix Cloud to on-premises resources. They enable communication between Citrix Workspace and the on-premises delivery controllers, allowing resource enumeration and session brokering. Without Cloud Connectors, Citrix Workspace cannot access on-premises resources, so this is essential for high availability and user access.
- ✗
Migrate the StoreFront server to an Azure virtual machine.
Why it's wrong here
Citrix Workspace replaces StoreFront in Citrix Cloud. Migrating StoreFront to Azure would not integrate with Citrix DaaS and is unnecessary. Citrix Workspace provides the unified interface for users, and StoreFront is not used in a Citrix Cloud deployment. This action would not ensure access and would be a wasted effort.
- ✓
Configure Citrix Workspace to use Citrix Gateway service for external access.
Why this is correct
Citrix Workspace can integrate with Citrix Gateway service to provide secure external access to resources. This replaces the need for on-premises StoreFront and Citrix ADC for external users. Configuring this integration ensures that users can reach their apps and desktops securely from outside the network, maintaining access after migration.
- ✗
Deploy a new Citrix ADC in Citrix Cloud.
Why it's wrong here
Citrix Cloud does not require a Citrix ADC for Citrix Workspace access. The Citrix Gateway service provides secure external access without the need for customer-managed ADC appliances. Deploying an ADC in Citrix Cloud is not possible and would not meet the requirement; it adds unnecessary complexity and is not part of the migration path.
- ✗
Configure Citrix Workspace to use the on-premises Citrix ADC for load balancing.
Why it's wrong here
Citrix Workspace in Citrix Cloud does not use on-premises Citrix ADC for load balancing. The service is hosted in Citrix Cloud and uses Citrix Gateway service or direct access. Pointing Workspace to an on-premises ADC would not work and would not provide high availability for cloud-hosted Workspace. This is not a valid configuration for the migration.
